I want to let everyone know about my experience with Blackstar Knives and Britt in the hopes that no one else has to go through what I went through.
I ordered a First Blood knife in June of 2012 and was told by Britt Gudowski that I would recieve my knife in 6-8 weeks. So when I did not recieve my knife after nearly 3 months I contacted Britt and was told that there where some delays and I would recieve my knife within 30 days....6 weeks later I still did not have my knife so I text and called britt several times with within the next month without a single reply. I then filed a dispute on paypal in the hopes to at least recover my final deposit of $263.00 Shortly after I filed the dispute Britt responded to the dispute VIA Paypal and I quoate "12/12/2014 12:55 PST - Seller: I was out of the country(my phone doesnt work out of the US) and will be shipping his knife out to him next week.Britt" But I did not get the knife the next week. So I talked to britt on the phone on friday the 19th of December and he told me that he just got back from over seas and he would ship the knife either Sat. Or Mon. and then send me a tracking number and the knife would be on my door step by Wed Dec 24th. I never recieved a tracking number and Britt has once again went silent on me despite the several attempts I have made to get ahold of him. It is now Jan 1st 2015. I have not heard from Britt and I do not have the Knife I have paid in full. I may be able to get the final payment back via Paypal claim, but I will have to go to small claims court to get the first and largest payment back because Paypal only gives a person something like 6 weeks to file a claim and I paid Britt the down payment last June 2014. I would never wish this experience on anyone and honestly I do not know how Britt Gudowski and Blackstar Knives stay in business when they do not deliever the paid for product. If this write up saves anyone from going through what I did I will consider it well worth it.
Thanks, Tracy Yates
